Sarah & Kim met in high school while hiding in the locker room to escape physical activity. Five minutes into their first conversation they made plans to play video games and drink chocolate milk together.

They have been best friends for almost 20 years! That makes for a big collection of shared stories, inside jokes, embarrassments, triumphs, tragedies, and awkward moments. A collection that could graduate from high school and vote.

Cookiepocket.org is a place to post the good stuff from the week: lists, lessons, recipes, comments on pop culture and current events, and the general promotion of things that are helpful, interesting, cute, and/or fun. We post every Friday with a week’s worth of our favs.

About Sarah

Sarah lives in Dallas, Texas with her Dutch Husband4, in a house she loves even though it’s under perpetual construction. She’s a Happiness Engineer at Automattic5 and would never brag about not owning a television. She’s a Janeite6, Browncoat7, Ravenclaw8, and if she’s addicted to anything, it’s every election cycle9. She loves to read YA and feminist-friendly romance10 and vague-tweet about shocking moments on her favorite shows.

About Kim

Kim lives in Austin, Texas with her Trusted Source11 and her dog envy. She hopes to one day cook like a pro and own a piano she may or may not be able to play. She’s a pluviophile12, perpetual organizer, and aspiring dog whisperer13 who loves movies, prefers tea14, and always says “yes” to an invitation to travel.
